Since it wasn't too late when she came out, Mu Chenshuang deliberately slowed down her pace, savoring the warmth of everyday life.
Ordinary people live the most down-to-earth lives, nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. They lack the scheming of officials, and their smiles are more genuine.
Seeing their busy figures, Mu Chenshuang felt a surge of emotion.
They work so hard, all for the sake of three meals a day.
If there were any changes in the court, these people would probably be the most affected.
That's well said. During times of war, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most.
Unconsciously, Mu Chenshuang's mood became heavy.
Thinking of those scenes from the past battles, Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed into a knot.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Linglong, who was standing next to her, sensed something was wrong and cautiously asked a question.
Mu Chenshuang regained her senses and managed a weak smile.
Seeing everyone so busy, I naturally feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings).
"Miss, don't think too much about it. Since you've done everything you could, the final outcome is up to fate. Some things are really beyond the control of ordinary people."
Linglong spoke softly, but her voice was full of rationality.
Mu Chenshuang nodded slightly after listening.
Thinking of the people's suffering, and looking at the stalls with carts on the street, Mu Chenshuang's mood couldn't improve.
The season of blooming flowers is almost here, and Mu Chenshuang lowered her head, her gaze involuntarily falling on her stomach.
After a while, when the weather gets warmer, some things will no longer be able to be kept secret.
After walking a few more steps, the vendors' cries had faded into the distance. Mu Chenshuang placed her hand on her lower abdomen, her face showing a hint of heaviness.
"Miss, let me see if there are any more places selling candied hawthorns."
Linglong's voice suddenly rose, and there was a hint of joy in her words.
With so many vendors today, surely we can find one selling candied hawthorns?
Thinking of these things, Linglong couldn't help but pout, and even her eyes became cheerful.
Mu Chenshuang estimated the time and figured Feng Ji shouldn't have left yet, so she nodded and went with Linglong to find a stall selling candied hawthorns.
As the streets became more crowded, Linglong stayed close to Mu Chenshuang, quickly catching up whenever there was even a slight gap.
Seeing that the road ahead was a bit congested, Linglong went directly to Mu Chenshuang and said from time to time, "Excuse me, can I pass?"
The candied hawthorns are secondary; the young lady's health is the most important thing.
After finally getting through the congested section of road, Mu Chenshuang and Linglong both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, we didn't come by carriage at this time. If we were sitting in a carriage now, it would probably be impossible for the carriage to move an inch.
Mu Chenshuang looked around but didn't find any vendors selling candied hawthorns, so she gave up.
Some things aren't absolutely necessary to eat; you can eat them a couple of days later. The important thing is to get down to business.
After clearing her throat, Mu Chenshuang continued walking forward.
Unconsciously, Mu Chenshuang recalled the hallucination from last night, and she became slightly dazed.
Suddenly a figure blocked Mu Chenshuang's path. Mu Chenshuang didn't have time to stop and almost bumped into the person.
"oops."
Mu Chenshuang instinctively gasped in surprise.
Linglong, standing next to her, frowned and said without even looking, "How do you walk? You're about to bump into someone!"
